Insurance Asset Risk ... "Life consolidation and backbook deals may have hit hurdles in Germany, but in Spain Antonio Trueba, CEO of consolidator MEDVDA Partners paints a different picture.   Trueba explains MVP's investment philosophy straightforwardly: "Our aim is to build a portfolio with better credit quality than the average, with lower exposure to market risk. We aim to hedge the market risks we cannot control – volatility of equities, real estate exposure and interest rate risk and have a lower SCR charge because we have lower risk there."   Trueba says: "We believe we add value to all stakeholders by investing a relevant portion of our balance sheet in private assets, that are long term and not completely liquid. Our liabilities are very illiquid, so we are improving the liquidity match between our assets and our liabilities. But that does not all mean we are taking more risk.” https://lnkd.in/g7rs5hY7 MEDVIDA Partners, MEDVIDA Partners Italia
